  • Greater Omentum Connects the Greater Curvature of the Stomach to the Transverse Colon
    Dr. ALSHIKH YOUSSEF Haiyan General features The peritoneum is a thin serous membrane Consisting of: 1- Parietal peritoneum －lines the ant. Abdominal wall and the pelvis 2- Visceral peritoneum - covers the viscera 3- Peritoneal cavity - the potential space between the parietal and visceral layer of peritoneum - in male, is a closed sac - but in the female, there is a communication with the exterior through the uterine tubes, the uterus, and the vagina ▪ Peritoneum cavity divided into Greater sac Lesser sac Communication between them by the epiploic foramen The peritoneum The peritoneal cavity is the largest one in the body. Divided into tow sac : .Greater sac; extends from diaphragm down to the pelvis. Lesser Sac .Lesser sac or omental bursa; lies behind the stomach. .Both cavities are interconnected through the epiploic foramen(winslow ). .In male : the peritoneum is a closed sac . .In female : the sac is not completely closed because it Greater Sac communicates with the exterior through the uterine tubes, uterus and vagina. Peritoneum in transverse section The relationship between viscera and peritoneum Intraperitoneal viscera viscera is almost totally covered with visceral peritoneum example, stomach, 1st & last inch of duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, vermiform appendix, transverse and sigmoid colons, spleen and ovary Intraperitoneal viscera Interperitoneal viscera Retroperitoneal viscera Interperitoneal viscera Such organs are not completely wrapped by peritoneum one surface attached to the abdominal walls or other organs. Example liver, gallbladder, urinary bladder and uterus Upper part of the rectum, Ascending and Descending colon Retroperitoneal viscera some organs lie on the posterior abdominal wall Behind the peritoneum they are partially covered by peritoneum on their anterior surfaces only Example kidney, suprarenal gland, pancreas, upper 3rd of rectum duodenum, and ureter, aorta and I.V.C The Peritoneal Reflection The peritoneal reflection include: omentum, mesenteries, ligaments, folds, recesses, pouches and fossae.

  • ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY and PERITONEUM Dr
    ABDOMINOPELVIC CAVITY AND PERITONEUM Dr. Milton M. Sholley SUGGESTED READING: Essential Clinical Anatomy 3 rd ed. (ECA): pp. 118 and 135­141 Grant's Atlas Figures listed at the end of this syllabus. OBJECTIVES:Today's lectures are designed to explain the orientation of the abdominopelvic viscera, the peritoneal cavity, and the mesenteries. LECTURE OUTLINE ­ PART 1 I. The abdominopelvic cavity contains the organs of the digestive system, except for the oral cavity, salivary glands, pharynx, and thoracic portion of the esophagus. It also contains major systemic blood vessels (aorta and inferior vena cava), parts of the urinary system, and parts of the reproductive system. A. The space within the abdominopelvic cavity is divided into two contiguous portions: 1. Abdominal portion ­ that portion between the thoracic diaphragm and the pelvic brim a. The lower part of the abdominal portion is also known as the false pelvis, which is the part of the pelvis between the two iliac wings and above the pelvic brim. Sagittal section drawing Frontal section drawing 2. Pelvic portion ­ that portion between the pelvic brim and the pelvic diaphragm a. The pelvic portion of the abdominopelvic cavity is also known as the true pelvis. B. Walls of the abdominopelvic cavity include: 1. The thoracic diaphragm (or just “diaphragm”) ­ located superiorly and posterosuperiorly (recall the dome­shape of the diaphragm) 2. The lower ribs ­ located anterolaterally and posterolaterally 3. The posterior abdominal wall ­ located posteriorly below the ribs and above the false pelvis and formed by the lumbar vertebrae along the posterior midline and by the quadratus lumborum and psoas major muscles on either side 4.

  • Colon and Rectum
    AJC12 7/14/06 1:24 PM Page 107 12 Colon and Rectum (Sarcomas, lymphomas, and carcinoid tumors of the large intestine or appendix are not included.) C18.0 Cecum C18.5 Splenic flexure of C18.9 Colon, NOS C18.1 Appendix colon C19.9 Rectosigmoid C18.2 Ascending colon C18.6 Descending colon junction C18.3 Hepatic flexure of C18.7 Sigmoid colon C20.9 Rectum, NOS colon C18.8 Overlapping lesion of C18.4 Transverse colon colon SUMMARY OF CHANGES •A revised description of the anatomy of the colon and rectum better delineates the data concerning the boundaries between colon, rectum, and anal canal. Ade- nocarcinomas of the vermiform appendix are classified according to the TNM staging system but should be recorded separately, whereas cancers that occur in the anal canal are staged according to the classification used for the anus. •Smooth extramural nodules of any size in the pericolic or perirectal fat are con- sidered lymph node metastases and will be counted in the N staging. In contrast, irregularly contoured nodules in the peritumoral fat are considered vascular invasion and will be coded as transmural extension in the T category and further denoted as either a V1 (microscopic vascular invasion) if only microscopically visible or a V2 (macroscopic vascular invasion) if grossly visible. • Stage Group II is subdivided into IIA and IIB on the basis of whether the primary tumor is T3 or T4 respectively. • Stage Group III is subdivided into IIIA (T1-2N1M0), IIIB (T3-4N1M0), or IIIC (any TN2M0). INTRODUCTION The TNM classification for carcinomas of the colon and rectum provides more detail than other staging systems.

  • Abdominal Foregut & Peritoneum Development
    Abdominal Foregut & Peritoneum Development - Transverse View Gastrointestinal System > Embryology > Embryology Key Concepts • The peritoneum is a continuous serous membrane that covers the abdominal wall and viscera. - Parietal layer of the peritoneum lines the body wall - Visceral layer envelops the viscera, aka, the organs - In some places, the visceral layer extends from the organs as folds that form ligaments, omenta, and mesenteries. • Viscera is categorized by their relationship to the peritoneum: - Intraperitoneal organs are covered by visceral peritoneum; as we'll see, the stomach is an example of this. - Retroperitoneal organs lie between the body wall and the parietal peritoneum (the kidneys, for example, are retroperitoneal). - Some organs are said to be secondarily retroperitoneal, because during their early embryologic stages, they are enveloped in visceral peritoneum, but later fuse to the body wall and are covered only by parietal peritoneum. Week 5 Just prior to rotation of the stomach. Diagram instructions: draw the outer surface and body wall, and indicate that the body wall is lined by parietal peritoneum. • Organs at the midline, from dorsal to ventral: - Abdominal aorta - Stomach; branches of the right and left vagus nerves extend along the sides of the stomach - Liver • Peritoneal coverings and ligaments: - Dorsal mesogastrium anchors the stomach to the posterior body wall - Visceral peritoneum covers the stomach - Ventral mesogastrium connects the stomach to the liver - Falciform ligament anchors the liver to the ventral body wall As you may recall, the dorsal mesogastrium is a portion of the dorsal mesentery, and the ventral mesogastrium and falciform ligament arose from the ventral mesentery. It's helpful to remember that "gastric," as in mesogastrium, = refers 1 / 2 to the stomach.
